THE NEXT DAY

Ethan groaned as he opened his eyes, the sunlight piercing through the curtains. It did nothing to soothe the ache in his head; it made it worse instead. He rolled over with a grunt, pressing his palm against his temple.

The hangover hit him hard.

Dragging himself out of bed, he stumbled into the restroom and freshened up, barely managing to keep his eyes open. Once he was done, he slipped into the kitchen.

He met the maid preparing the breakfast. “Get my hangover tea ready quickly.” He ordered and dragged his feet to the dining table.

Less than ten minutes later, she came in with a steaming mug and cup tray. Ethan grabbed it quickly and took one sip.

He immediately spat it out.

“What the fuck is this?” He asked angrily, staring at the maid like she had tried killing him with poison.

“What did you put it this?” He asked, and the maid flinched, taken aback by his outburst.

“I…I’m so sorry, Sir. I..I can make it again if you want. I followed the recipe, but since I

What rights did he have to get angry or jealous when first they were already divorced and second he had been doing much worse to his ex wife and not with one woman only..

He totally didn’t give a damn about his wife’s feelings and expected her to be understanding and accepted his playboy ways. He shouldn’t marry at all if he wanted to continue have other women

What's not computing for Jessica? lol. Being his wife is NOT a desirable position lol. It's embarrassing as hell. The only thing worse is being a delusional employee who's no longer even a booty call. She should've ran his pockets when she had the chance

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 172

    Ethan checked his wristwatch as he bolted out of the office building. It was already almost midnight. Thankfully, the streets were still very much alive but without traffic. He ignited the car engine and zoomed off, his hands shaking with nervousness as he went over what he was going to tell Brielle over and over again.“You got this, Ethan.” He told himself, remembering Anita’s words.Thirty minutes later, he arrived at the house and it was a few minutes past midnight. He sat in his car for a minute, prepping himself for the final time.“I…I—” he tried rehearsing the words but failed to get them out. He then decided to just go with the flow line Anita said. She was sure he would get the hang of it once he was in front of Brielle.He finally got out of the car and entered the house. He was met with an eerie silence with not even a cricket helping to break it. He walked up the stairs and stopped in front of Brielle’s door. After taking a deep breath, he knocked once.There was no respo

    Anita arrived at Ethan’s office one hour later. When she pushed open his office door, the sight she was met with sent tears to her eyes.Ethan was sprawled out on the little couch in his office, his hair ruffled, his face wet with tears, and his expression like he had just lost a loved one.Anita’s heart broke more than it did when she heard his voice over the phone.“Oh, Ethan.” She sighed and sprinted towards him. She went to where he was and sat on the floor, holding his head in her hand.“Hey… I’m here now, okay.” She said, wiping her tears as she didn’t want him to see her cry.After a while, she finally decided to bring up what they spoke about on the phone. “What did you tell her?” She asked.Ethan remained silent, only the sound of his sniffles leaving him could be heard.“When she told you about the pregnancy, what was your response?” She asked, more clearly this time.Ethan raised his head and she was met with his bloodshot eyes. The sight broke her further. He stared at her

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 170

    “I’m pregnant.”There was an eerie silence in the dining room as soon as the words left Brielle’s lips. She looked at Ethan intently, searching for any kind of reaction from him but, she got nothing.He had blanked out…completely.Minutes passed and not even a sound had left his lips. He just stared at her like he was looking at a ghost.Not being able to take the silence anymore, Brielle spoke. “Ethan?” She called out.Nothing.“Ethan?” Still no response.“Ethan!?” She raised her voice, slamming her hands on the table. Her heart was starting to race as the thought that he might hate the idea of having a child entered her head.He blinked, clearly coming out of whatever daze he was in. “Did you hear what I said?” She asked.His mouth opened…then closed. Then, it opened again but no words came out.He couldn’t find his voice.“I said I am pregnant, Ethan. We’re having a baby.” She said more clearly and his eyes widened, his breath loud enough for her to hear.“Ethan!”The chair scraped

    “I think I’m ready to tell Ethan about the baby,” Brielle said after taking deep breaths, her heart still pounding.“Oh…” Ella responded, her tone unsure.“What is it?” Brielle asked, her heart dropping at Ella’s tone. She didn’t expect Ella to be excited about the idea, but that certainly wasn’t the reaction she expected.“Honey, I’m just shocked. That’s all.” Ella confessed, making Brielle more nervous than she already was.“The reason you didn’t want to tell him about the pregnancy was because you felt he was too irresponsible to father your child and you didn’t want your child to be raised by someone like Ethan. Why the change of heart?” Ella asked, sounding genuinely concerned for her friend and future godchild.Brielle exhaled, “While I cannot say that Ethan has had a complete 360 change, I can say that he has shown a little change, and that is enough for me, Ella. It’s not like I’m accepting him back into my life. That chapter is closed, Ella. But, the child is his as much as i

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 168

    Two Days LaterA groan leaves Jessica’s lips as she stirs awake on the cold, hard floor, her body instantly recognizing the harsh sleeping environment. She tries to sit up but a sharp pain in her back forces her down. She hisses immediately, cursing Brielle and Ethan for putting her in this situation.“I’m pregnant for fuck’s sake. I shouldn’t be sleeping on the floor.” She grumbled, blinking the tears away.A ruffle is heard from the other side of the holding cell and a chuckle follows. “Then don’t commit crimes. If you care so much about your child, you wouldn’t have tried to kill someone.” An older lady who had been in the cell a few hours before her said, sounding annoyed at her groaning.Jessica rolled her eyes. “I don’t remember talking to you. Why don’t you mind your business?” She answered in an irritated tone then turned away.“I’ll watch my tone if I were you.” The woman said, feeling offended at Jessica’s words. “You wouldn’t want to get on my bad side. We might share a roo

  • Love me back, Ex-Wife   Chapter 167

    The police station smelled faintly of coffee and disinfectant, the usual blend of late nights and weary officers. Brielle sat across from Officer Joe, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her knuckles pale from the pressure. Ethan stood beside her, his arms crossed, his tall frame tense with impatience.“Nothing?” Brielle’s voice broke, a fragile mix of disbelief and frustration.Joe sighed, sliding a folder across the table. “She must have known we’d try to check her phone. Every trace of data—messages, call history, apps—completely wiped. Whoever did it knew what they were doing.”Brielle’s heart sank. She leaned back in her chair, staring at the blank wall behind him. The image of Hannah’s bruised face, the sound of her fragile voice asking for help, rushed back into her mind. The phone was supposed to be their weapon, their chance to expose Jessica for what she had done. Now, it felt like sand slipping through her fingers.Ethan’s voice cut into the silence, low but sharp. “So yo
